NEW COMMIT: Sprint freestyler and butterflyer Mia Brown of Dublin, Ohio, has announced her verbal commitment to Georgetown University and will suit up for the Hoyas as a member of the class of 2024.
Brown swims year-round with Ohio State Swim Club for coach Kyle Goodrich and most recently earned a best time in the 100m fly this past summer at Geneva Futures after placing fifth in the 50m fly and sixth in the 50m free at Ohio LCM Seniors. Last winter, she earned gold in the 50 free and silver in the 100 fly at the Ned Reeb Invitational before going on to race three events at Indianapolis Sectionals.
Also competing for Bishop Watterson, Brown has competed at the Ohio State Championships each of her three high school seasons thus far. Her highest finish at the state level as been a ninth-place showing in the 50 free during her sophomore season.
She told Swimming World:
“I am extremely blessed to announce that I have verbally committed to further my academic and athletic career at Georgetown University! Thank you to my coaches, teammates, family, and friends who have supported me along the way. I am so excited for this awesome opportunity. Can’t wait to be a HOYA! #hoyasaxa”
Her best times include:
- 50 fly – 24.98
- 100 fly – 56.52
- 50 free – 23.54
- 100 free – 52.48
Brown will make an immediate impact both individually and on relays when she gets to campus at the start of the 2020-21 season. She would’ve scored in the A-final of the 50 free and 100 fly as well as the B-final of the 100 free at the 2019 Big East Championships where Georgetown finished third overall in the team standings.
